Customer Ratings & Reviews

**Super Smash Bros. Ultimate** is more than just a fighting game; it is a massive, playable museum of gaming history. Released for the Nintendo Switch, it lives up to its "Ultimate" subtitle by including every single fighter that has ever appeared in the series' 25-year history, along with several iconic newcomers. Whether you are a casual fan looking for a party game or a competitive player seeking depth, here is a breakdown of why this title remains a must-own for Switch owners. --- ## The Verdict: 9.5 / 10 **"The most comprehensive crossover in media history, offering endless content and polished gameplay, slightly held back only by its online infrastructure."** ### Key Features * **Massive Roster:** 89 playable fighters (including DLC) ranging from Mario and Pikachu to third-party icons like Sora (Kingdom Hearts), Steve (Minecraft), and Sephiroth (Final Fantasy VII). * **Stages & Music:** Over 100 stages and nearly 1,000 music tracks. * **World of Light:** A massive 20+ hour single-player RPG-lite campaign where you rescue "Spirits" to customize your fighter’s stats. * **Refined Mechanics:** Faster gameplay than its Wii U predecessor, with satisfying "freeze-frame" impact effects and improved movement. --- ### Pros & Cons | **Pros** | **Cons** | | :--- | :--- | | **"Everyone is Here":** Unmatched value with the largest roster in the genre. | **Online Lag:** The netcode is still peer-to-peer, which can lead to frustrating lag in competitive play. |Is It Worth It? **Absolutely.** Even years after its release, *Super Smash Bros. Ultimate* has no equal in terms of scale. If you enjoy Nintendo characters or gaming culture in general, the sheer amount of "fan service" and detail is staggering.

I have only played Smash Bros maybe once or twice in all the years it's been around, but obviously, Owning a Switch and with it being the staple for Nintendo beat em ups, I had to pick this one up. I really shouldn't have to say this, but if you're looking at these reviews, you have already too much time without the game. If you're considering getting this for a loved one, stop now and go put it in your shopping cart. This is the best version of Smash Bros you will find. And again, if you own a Switch or know someone that does, they/you need this in your library. It has tons on modes. So many ways to unlock characters and so many things to keep you busy with or without friends around. You can take Smash with you anywhere. That's all that really needs to be said. Go get the game. You won't regret it. And while you're at it , pick up some them sweet Amibo.

My kids and I love this game! Every time we played it get better and better. As you play you unlock characters which makes it very interesting!

This game is loads of fun and perfect to play with friends or even solo with a variety of single player modes too!

Super Smash Bros is an amazing game! It's so much fun to play with friends or by yourself. The graphics are incredible and the controls are really intuitive. I love the huge variety of characters and stages, which keeps the game fresh and exciting every time you play. It's definitely one of my all-time favorite games and I would highly recommend it to anyone who loves video games!

[Employee of bestbuy] Amazing game! Have bought for myself, my younger siblings and cousins! They all love it so much! It is an amazing action game!

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate's name is no lie! I was truely surprised by the sheer volume of content. I started off by tackling the Adventure mode wh8ch I expected to be no more than a little 2-3 hour romp, but boy was I mistaken! The Adventure mode alone took me over 30 hours to complete, and I had heard after the fact from others it took them 50+ hours to complete! With that alone I feel as if I have gotten my monies worth, and I am sure i will be getting hundreds more hours of enjoyment from the multiplayer, and other modes as well!

Really fun game with many Nintendo game characters

My husband and I bought this o play with our kids for Christmas. Our four year old beat us the first round. It was a lot of fun for all of us!

This game, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate includes almost every current Video game character pitted against each other in a very exciting gaming challenge. Beware of a small character in the game that can steal powers from other characters therefore leaving them helpless!

Love this game! It’s very fun and I like how they combined all the characters!!! Love it love it Always been a fan

This is a great game. It has many characters and arenas. The visuals are outstanding! I really like that is a classic style meaning that you have to fight to earn the fighters. It is definitely a game for all ages.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is the grandest Smash Bros game to date, featuring all previous character and many new ones that appeal to young and older fans alike. With free content being added to the game, buying this game us a no-brainer

Growing up, I never liked playing smash bros. I played here and there with friends sometimes but no one ever told me how to play! I would play like a traditional fighting game, when the objective is a little different. I decided to get this Smash to see what the hype was about. This game came out over a year ago, and it still is my most played game. I have close to 1000 hours played (not just by myself lol), and I see myself continuing to play for a long time. There are a bunch of characters, more available via DLC and maybe even more in the future. If you have a switch and don't have this? GET IT!!!

Amazing and fun game that keeps you hooked and challenges your skills

I absolutely love this game. It's the only game cartridge that I've purchased for mybswitch, because I like to play the older NES and SNES games through the online game play feature on my switch. The gameplay is is so much fun and I love playing as Kirby He's so cute and is a battle axe. I hope you enjoyed my review and it helps you in finding the perfect switch games.

Bought it for my nephew definitely something to enjoy with the family or have as a game night with your cousins or something.

This truly is the ULTIMATE Smash bros game. Over 70 characters, from every previous version have been reintroduced, plus new characters. That’s right, if you missed playing as Mewtwo on Melee, he’s back on Ultimate. And Pichu is way better. Cloud is the first Final Fantasy character introduced to this series, and playing as him is awesome! Some of my other favorites from previous games are here as well: Ness, Lucas, Villager, Megaman, and many Pokémon and Fire Emblem characters. Easy to play local with friends on the go or on the big screen. Online play is blast too. Smooth with no lag.

Such a fun game hours of entertainment for the whole family !
